Description
The fix for CR 6189743 (Need an ARCFOUR implementation optimized for AMD64) causes ARCFOUR to run slower for Intel EM64T.
File arcfour_crypt_amd64.s needs to be optimized for BOTH AMD AMD64 and Intel EM64T.

Performance results show arcfour_crypt_amd64.s runs about 2.7x slower on EM64T than AMD64.
